Jon Stewart examines the choice undecided voters are facing in the 2024 election: Kamala Harris, who has an impressive résumé and specific policy plans, versus Donald Trump, whose vision, consistency on issues, anti-labor ethos, and militaristic posturing are at odds with the caricature his followers have created for him.

I've said it before. Misinformation exsits in all information. You will be hard pressed to find any common distributor of information to not have any errors. The thought that you can simply be fed only truth with out having to think critically is a fallacy. You can blame the media for existing but you can't make it not exist. It's people, who have principles, ignoring those principles because we've allowed that to be acceptable behavior in the states.

Stop asking, "can you believe trump did this thing." Start asking, "would you do this thing that trump did." Don't waste your time on petty shit. Stick with the obscene shit. "Would you grab a woman by the pussy?" "Would you sexually assault a woman." "Would you call immigrants animals?"

Their only response will be, that's not true, and right there they have nothing to do but refute reality. A shared reality is the most basic principle of having society and them ignoring what we can see with our eyes and hear with our ears is not them having a different set of facts. It's pure fantasy. It's antisocial behavior, and tell them that.
